As the news broke about a student of North Carolina State University passing away, social media users were left alarmed and stunned as 15 students have died in this academic year. A freshman, Colby Jabe spoke up as he witnessed the body of the student who tragically passed away.

"So, I actually walked up on the kid that died," Jabe said. "I’ve never seen anything in my life as crazy ... There was a kid calling the police, and I just had no idea what to do. I was talking to the kid, like, ‘It’s alright.’ I was trying to tell people, 'Oh, don’t come over here.'"

He then shared how tough it has been for him to focus on anything after the incident. Calling it a “rough day,” another freshman spoke up, and said:

"It was a pretty rough day. I didn’t know how to take it at first, and I still don’t know how to take it."

Furthermore, the college informed that many students are opting for counselling after the incident, as they have been feeling restless and not being able to cope with the loss. Due to the many deaths in the college in a single year, the university has enhanced and maximized its mental health resources for the staff and students.

However, motives behind the most recent death have not been revealed. The family of the deceased student and North Carolina State University authorities are yet to give out more details on the matter.
